The New England Grand Prix Series was founded in 1986. The NEGP is comprised of 7 races on certified courses that range in distance from the 5k up to the marathon. Prizes and points are awarded to individual runners in all divisions as well as to NE running clubs. A perpetual award is loaned for a one-year display to the club who has the highest overall point total, with the name of this club added to the plaque. Recent club winners include The Central Mass Striders, The Whirlaway Racing Team and The Merrimack Valley Striders. “Iron runners”, or those who compete in all 7 races, receive commemorative USATF-NE Grand Prix jackets. More information on the NEGP can be found on the USATF-NE Website

Here's the GCS-Triad Racing Team report from the DH Jones 10 miler which served as the kick-off to the 2010 New England Grand Prix Race Series.
We had 42 GCS-Triad Racing Team members participate in this year’s edition of the New Bedford Half Marathon. And, with the favorable weather conditions (and awesome winter conditioning) many of those runners went home with brand-spanking new PR’s to boot!
